Pulse bf squonk or Athena kit

Fancy a early Christmas present for myself but torn between the pulse bf with the dead rabbit or the Athena squonk kit... what's do you think is the best option. Or is any others worth a look similar price range around £50.. cheers guys

I have both and can honestly say there is not too much in it. For looks I would say the Pulse is just ahead but from a purely vaping perspective I gotta say I love the Athena kit a little bit more. Athena is solid, well made and the lock button function is on the outside as opposed to the Pulse's inside switch. It feels just a bit better quality than the Pulse.

To be honest though, whichever one you get, if cheap unregulated squonking and RDA quality flavour is your thing, either option is gonna make you happy.

For any faults the capo does sit well in the hand doesn't it cliffy. I've found it really comfy for day to day use.

I love using it. The big fire button, the reassuring weightiness of it. I think i'd be a rubbish reviewer though because I actually love em all and can rarely find fault with a lot of the stuff I vape on.

My mate just handed me his Athena kit to build for him.
I've got to say I prefer my pulse with either a gorge or a hadaly.
The Athena rda seems to be a poor copy of the dead rabbit,and bigger me it's noisy.

Don’t think you can go wrong with either but I prefer Athena to Pulse. Just feels more solid and better made. Only criticism I have is the squonk hole is on the small side for my fat fingers.

I have both the Pulse and Athena (mod only), and personally I reckon the Athena wins hands down. Simple and efficient quality circuit, easily accessible for cleaning. Solid and reassuringly weighty for such a small mod. No leaking from the 510. Simple external switch lock, though mine is a little stiff, but I rarely use it. I wasn't keen on the sharper edges at first, but it feels good in the hand now (she said). I suppose one negative could be the fact that it only takes 18650's, but not an issue for me.

I love mine, got another on the way.

I got the Athena a few days back. Built a simple n80 28ga 9 wraps 2.5id ohms out at 0.77
I do like the make & finish of the Athena kit. Has some weight to it.

Don’t know what the problem is it just doesn’t fire when vape for around 6-7puffs.. it just doesn’t fire.. does anyone face this problem

Don't know what would cause that but I do know, when a mech doesn't fire when you think it should, be very very careful. Something must be wrong and with a mech, that is a bad thing. Check it out thoroughly before using it anymore. Maybe consider the health of your battery and try another battery. Check your build thoroughly on a regulated device or ohms reader.

If you have anymore problems, DON'T USE IT !

Trying to find out the problem, got brand new 2 sony vtc5a from genuine seller for th mod so for sure I know batteries is not a problem. I tried my recoil rebel on it and it fires alright on the athena mod but when I try with the athena rda it gives out and dosent fire atall.. what I was thinking was geekvape made the squonking connector pin a bit short.. probably guestimating 1mm short which causes the issue..
Now I am going to dessamble the rda and check.. will keep updating
